Frequently asked questions
- How do I complete the notarized application?
- Fill in the application, attach a copy of valid photo identification, then sign the oath before a notary. The form instructions say to submit the completed application in person at Town Hall.
- Do I need a separate application if I work for an employer?
- Yes. The form says an employer-filed application must be accompanied by a separate application for each peddler or solicitor, signed and sworn to by that individual.
- Can I use a commissioned online notary?
- North Carolina’s enacted remote electronic notarization program has not launched. Emergency video notarization requires both signer and notary to be in North Carolina and is not online notarization. Confirm the Town’s acceptance before booking.
- What should I do if I am unsure whether I need a permit?
- The form lists exceptions, including deliveries of goods ordered beforehand and certain charitable or nonprofit activities. Review the application’s ordinance text and confirm with the city or town if unsure.
